Chapter 5

Bai Yan crawled back into his mud hole again, turned his head to look at his body, and it had grown to a length of two feet, that is, sixty centimeters, and the thickness reached the size of an adult's thumb.

Although such snakes still have many natural enemies, they are no longer afraid of crabs and praying mantises like young snakes.

At least, the danger of his growth in this pool is greatly reduced.

Bai Jun rolled up his body and fell into a deep sleep.

The molting just now exhausted all his strength, he was really tired!
And the snake skin that he had molted was gradually charred under the sun.

After all, the temperature of cobblestones in summer is so terrifying that even eggs can be cooked, and the danger that Bai Yu didn't think about was eliminated by the sun.

Because some creatures can find the owner of the snake slough according to the smell of the snake slough.

……

When the daylight was weaker, Bai Yu woke up faintly. He turned his head, spit out the snake letter to sense the external environment, and then twisted the snake's body to swim into the water, hunting for prey, which is an endless behavior of creatures.

There is no nutrition in the stomach, and new prey are needed to fill the stomach!

This time, Bai Yan was full of confidence, and his fear of underwater creatures was much less.

Not only because he has grown bigger, but also because two fangs grew out of the fleshy bones in the upper jaw of his mouth!
Baiyu is a poisonous snake!

And according to common sense, the brighter the snake, the more poisonous it is.Bai Jun's bright white body also shows that his toxicity is not shallow!
Of course, the white body is now covered with layers of black and foul-smelling silt.

Baijun's sense of smell is still very sensitive, the smell of the mud is transmitted to the vomeronasal organ in his nasal cavity, and then transmitted to the snake's brain to tell him that the smell is very smelly!

But in order to survive, so what if it smells a little bit smelly?
You have become a snake, and you still care about the shape like a human?That would only lead to death.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest!The cruelty of nature will never lack animals to prove.

Bai Jun withdrew his thoughts, looked at the various aquatic creatures coming and going, looking for prey.

A big crab swam clumsily with its pair of pincers, and Bai Yan showed no interest.Although he is no longer afraid of crabs, if he preys on crabs, he may be injured, and the pair of pincers are not for decoration.

Once a wild animal is injured, it will be extremely deadly.

The key is that the crabs are all shells and have less meat!

Bai Yu no longer digs snails in the sand, it is too difficult to digest, and the nutrition is really too little.

He will eat fish and shrimp in the future!

He doesn't move big river prawns, he only eats small prawns, or he is satisfied with more delicious dried prawns.

Fish, although they have spines, have a lot of meat, and one fish can satisfy his consumption for two days.

A fish with gleaming scales swam over cautiously before Baijun's eyes. This fish is a common grass carp in Danshui River. It is a herbivorous omnivorous fish. The size is as big as a child's palm. To Baijun, it is definitely a It's a big meal!

Bai Yan waited quietly. The place he chose to hunt was the most lush aquatic grass in this shallow water area, and it was a favorite place for herbivorous fish to eat.

This grass carp has been vigilant for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the temptation to swing the fish body and swim over. With one mouthful, the fish caught a tender leaf of water grass into its stomach.

The white scorpion was not in a hurry to attack, and only when the prey was eating the most happily was the moment when they relaxed their vigilance.

Seeing that there were no predators, the little grass carp relaxed and devoured the water grass leaves one by one.

Bai Yan arched his body slowly, with his center of gravity moving forward and backward, aiming at the right moment, the tail of the snake suddenly exerted force, and the body of the snake leaped out at the same time, shooting at the grass carp before it had time to react like a sharp arrow, biting through it with one bite Removed fish scales and injected snake venom.

The grass carp was frightened suddenly, and hurriedly flicked its tail violently to give a tail flick to the guy who dared to attack it.

But the body of the white snake has penetrating power, and the body of the snake bends and dexterously avoids the counterattack of the fish's tail. The body of the snake quickly wraps around the body of the fish, and the muscles of its whole body contract tightly to strangle the struggling grass carp.

The fish and snake were entangled, and slowly fell to the bottom of the sand without buoyancy. The grass carp still refused to give in, and desperately swung its tail and body, trying to break through the entanglement of the snake.

But for fish without claws and hands, they are destined to become food when snakes entangle them.

The grass carp gradually exhausted, the toxins in the body broke out, and it stopped struggling after about a minute or two.

The white scorpion did not use all its strength to entangle and kill like ordinary snakes. Although that would kill the prey faster, but when you use all your energy to hunt, you become food in the eyes of other creatures.

This is the survival rule that Bai Yan keeps in mind: Never expose all your strength to unknown enemies.

Bai Yan opened his mouth, opened his upper and lower jaws to the maximum, and slowly swallowed from the grass carp's head.

Because the fish was too big for his body, Bai Jie took a full 10 minutes to finish eating.

Snakes are four fatal moments of weakness during eating.

The first fatal moment, during hibernation.

The second most fatal moment is during the entire moulting process.

The third fatal moment is the legendary Dragon Boat Festival.

The fourth deadliest moment is when swallowing prey.

The third one is still too far away for today's Baijun, but it is always right to take precautions in advance at any time.

After Bai Yan finished his food, he leisurely walked back home, and even crushed a few little neighbors to death.

Now it's hot, and the white scorpion doesn't need to bask in the sun to invigorate blood and warm up. It needs to rest when it's full. This is one of the mysteries of longevity snakes.

The heat is unbearable, but under this boulder is a good place to enjoy the cool, the temperature is suitable, the warm wind is blowing, and Bai Yu is sleepy.

When he was in a daze, he seemed to see a huge figure approaching from far away.

Bai Yan suddenly woke up, and when he looked closely, it was a giant tortoise swimming out of the water.

That is really a big turtle!There are three tortoises as long as him and nearly two meters in size. Could it be that they have become mature?
Moreover, tortoises are omnivores, and some species even specialize in carnivores, with fierce temperaments.

In a hurry, Bai Yan could only shrink his body and bury himself in the mud hole, watching the giant tortoise climb up the boulder he was perched on.

Then, the giant tortoise stopped moving, and lay down on the boulder quietly basking in the sun.

Countless thoughts flashed through Bai Yan's mind, but he didn't expect that nothing happened, as if he didn't care about him at all.

No wonder there are no large carnivores near this water pool. It turns out that there is a monster living here.

But this also made Bai Yan feel relieved, at least this monster seems to be relatively gentle, and it can keep this side safe, so there won't be any scary existences like eagles and vultures.

As long as Bai Yan doesn't provoke this "old man", he is also an animal, and he is not a human being. It is not impossible for animals that do not serve each other to live in harmony.

The old tortoise is lying on the boulder, the head of the old tortoise is elongated, and a pair of cloudy eyes are looking at the sun that is gradually shifting to the west, bathing in the sun, and the silence is as old as the years.

Bai Yu didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he could only lie in the cave and wait until the sunset glowed in the sky, and then the old turtle leisurely stepped into the pool and swam to the depths of the water.

After the old turtle left, Bai Jun carefully climbed up the boulder for the first time, and he was instantly fascinated by the scene outside the mountain.

I saw the mountains surrounded by the setting sun, the red clouds adorning the green hills, the birds flying in the sky, and the willows falling under the pool.

For the first time, Bai Yan had hopes for the future. He thought that one day he could climb mountains, watch the sea, go to the nine heavens, embrace the moonlight, travel in the world, and see the world of mortals.

Appreciate thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and travel all over the world.I am still here.
